The Phone Hold Music: Nokia's Tube is the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
There's an event on next week. Actually, there are loads. But we have good reason to believe Nokia is going to unveil the oft-discussed Tube handset — a fully touch-controlled music phone — now also known as the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be a quad-band 3G handset with HSDPA connectivity, the Series 60 Symbian OS, an 81mm (3.2-inch) 640x480-pixel touch-sensitive screen and a 3.2-megapixel camera with LED flash. GPS, Wi-Fi and stereo Bluetooth will connect you up, plus there's support for up to 16GB microSD cards, 150MB of internal memory and a top-mounted 3.5mm headphone socket. It'll weigh just over 100g.
We'll be honest: although it's a high-spec phone, there's nothing new in terms of features under the hood, even though the touchscreen will make these decent specifications more enjoyable. That big, high-res screen will make this one of Nokia's best mobile video handsets ever, if not the best, despite being a good year or so behind the rest of the world
